If you want to just hear him talk and not listen to you. This is your guy. Horrible experience.

As a surgeon upon looking at my MRI, and with my age being 56 years, proposed that I not have a shoulder replacement surgery, even though my shoulder was unrepairable at this time. He first recorded the movement and strength I still had in this shoulder, and the recommended this action to postpone this surgery until I aged a few more years, or until it became necessary.
